In life, we all get our chance to shine, like nailing an important presentation at work or leading the football team to victory. Such highs make us want to share our joy with everyone. On the other hand, we also have those embarrassing moments—searching for our keys while holding them or misplacing our groceries.
On such occasions, our common sense takes a backseat, and our brain refuses to function—a brain fart, if you will. But don’t worry, you are not alone. Sometimes, people are hilariously clueless and naive and thankfully, someone captured it on camera.
To help you momentarily forget your goof-ups and lift your spirits, Bored Panda has collected a list of silly things that people have said and done.

Lesson Learned
Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says
Have you ever been in a situation where you randomly blank out or end up doing something silly, and wonder, "What was I thinking?" Welcome to the world of brain farts – those awkward moments when our mind stops functioning, leaving us confused and sometimes embarrassed.
Our brains are incredibly complex organs, capable of processing vast amounts of information efficiently. But they experience hiccups from time to time, or 'cognitive dysfunction'.

A brain fart, which can be linked to cognitive dysfunction, perfectly describes those instances when our mental processes seem to malfunction. Thankfully, many of these glitches are quite common and easy to manage.
We can hit a roadblock when our stress levels skyrocket or we are exhausted. This causes our attention to waver and our memory to play hide-and-seek. Picture this: you're working late in the night, trying to finish a last-minute project, and you keep reading the same paragraph over and over again, unable to understand a word of it.
It is hard to concentrate when our brains are pushed to the limit. In order to recharge our batteries, we should indulge in relaxing activities or hit the gym. This will not only soothe our soul but also help kick stress to the curb.

What Is This New Email You Speak Of?
In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, staying focused can be difficult. One moment of distraction, and bam! our train of thought derails, leaving us wondering where it all went wrong. That's the magic (or rather, the mischief) of a brain fart, it sneaks up on us when we least expect it, turning our well-laid plans into hilarious moments.
Participating in meditation events or learning new breathing techniques helps to sharpen our attention and focus on the present moment. In fact, organizational tools such as calendars or to-do lists are a great way to keep your appointments and tasks in check. A structured approach helps prevent those "oops" moments.

While multitasking is impressive, sometimes it's a recipe for disaster. When we attempt to do too many tasks at once, our brains get overwhelmed, like a computer that has too many tabs open. And just like that, we start to lag because of the overload.
To avoid going from lightning-fast to snail's pace, one should focus on one task at a time. When we keep switching between different things, our brains need time to refocus and this prevents us from fully immersing ourselves in the task at hand. It’s harder to achieve meaningful progress while multitasking. So, remember to take a deep breath, and tackle things like the productivity pro you are.

A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight
My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my Gmail account because he signed up for Priceline using the Gmail login button.
I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did it because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.
Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.
Excuse Me?
Don’t forget, sleep is your brain's secret weapon that keeps your cognitive powers in top shape. Not getting enough rest can impair memory, attention, and your decision-making abilities. Imagine: You are staring blankly at the fridge, wondering what exactly you are looking for. It's like your brain hit the snooze button along with your alarm clock.
That's why it's important to prioritize quality sleep. Aim for a solid 7-9 hours of uninterrupted shut-eye every night, and it will help you efficiently tackle whatever challenges the day throws your way.

Of All The Things That Didn’t Happen, This Did Not Happen The Most
With a bit of mindfulness, a good night's sleep, and some stress-busting techniques up our sleeves, we can turn those dumb moments into tiny blips on the radar of our brilliant minds. Meanwhile, it never hurts to enjoy those occasional silly situations where we goof up. Have you ever experienced a brain fart? Tell us about your funniest struggles in the comments below.

Metaphysically absurd. You can't force someone to believe in God. You can only compel him to pretend he does.
TBF this was the sort of reasoning used by the Pilgrim Fathers - they weren't leaving England to escape fro persecution, they were leaving it to found a community where they could force their religious beliefs on everybody else - so it's not _so_ surprising that it's still present in parts of the US.
Sometimes Ive had the same thought. But the "Pilgrim Fathers" (what a horrible name) were a colony of a couple of hundred at most. And almost as soon as it started it started to schism into less authoritarian colonies. And some colonies were established as explicitly religiously pluralistic. So... I'm not sure that's it. The bible belt is in the South, far from Plymouth rock. I speculate that the religious ferocity there is imported from the Scots-Irish, via Ulster, via the Covenaters in Scotland. With a a healthy mixture of African religion and slave "salvation" religion. But I'm biased and talking out my bunghole. In my copious free time I'd love to talk to people who know about this.

If I had the power, I'd let everyone who thinks we should have mandatory religion and follow "Gods law" have their way. I'd stick all the christians in a place that requires them to follow sharia law as the Taliban see it.

Actually just why? Watch the Life of Brian to get a clear perspective on religion and also while you are at it learn so bloody history, moron.
Even if you have a totalitarian system, you can't just change people's minds. Even during the Spanish inquisition, many people claimed to accept Christ but still kept their religion (or lack thereof). Stupid idea and impossible to enforce. Get a new hobby. Perhaps you could start with being a better follower of God yourself.
I am a Christian. If you read the bible, you'll see that even Jesus disagrees with this.
I believe in God. I do not follow any religion. I also do not expect other people to believe what I believe. My philosophy is- let everybody live their lives their way, you pay attention to your own. Help people, but do not judge them or force things on them.
“The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances“

I don't believe in any Gods & NEVER will. Absolutely no interest in the adult version of imaginary friends.
I'm not sure anyone in this discussion, or joining this discussion, will ever prove or disprove, their point of view, nor be able to change anyone else's point of view. . .!
There was a time when society was ruled by the Church. It's called the Dark Ages for a reason.-Anonymous (For you history nerds, yeah, I know that's not really accurate but it fits here)
I’m a pretty religious person, but I also believe I’m freedom of religion. I may not agree with their beliefs, but I respect their right to others beliefs.
Yet there are so many states where atheism is outlawed and can earn you jailtime. And in some cases... execution.
I've got $50 that says this asshat has a "Defend The Constitution" bumper sticker.
I often think Pandas are too dismissive of some right wing, or even centrist people. Tim Pool is not one of those people. Guys a grade A dbag.
Ethics aside, this is completely unenforceable. You don't know what people believe. Only what they claim to believe. If they can get severely punished for not believing in your god, the number of people who "believe" is going to go way up, but it does not mean there are any more believers than there were before changing the laws.
The reason why people are willing to accept fascist nationalism while losing their sh*t over democratic socialism . Correlation/= causation, opinion/=fact, question answers, don't answer questions.
Socialism means if you build it, you own it. Facism means people don't get a voice. The "evil" socialist countries are all fascist, just like all the "evil" countries that are not socialist, just like what a religious dictatorship would be.

Sad that the person who posted this was obviously doing so to smear anyone right of the extremist progressive left. Because, when you have nothing to offer on the issues, distorting reality to accomplish your goal works just as well, right? How do I know? Because they'd never admit nor show that Tim also posited the opposite of this statement as part of a debate - which perhaps some of you may know - he regularly sets up for and/or from his show where different perspectives, sometimes even unpopular ones, are laid out for open debate.. But here, where all the muppets TAKE THE SMEAR BATE and proceed to trash talk, participants are blasted by psuedo intellectual echoes, with few brave enough to post independent thought, lest they be pummeled by the resultant virtual mob. Well done, minions. Well done.
There are a lot of countries that enforce that rule, though they are probably a bit too warm and worship the wrong god for this guy
there are two types of christians: real christians, and then we have this
God may not force anyone, but his followers sure do force others to believe in him.

I once taught a 16/17 year old girl who said it was impossible to have anything above 100% and this girl had a C in GCSE. Another time, and this was the WHOLE room of adults I mentioned the experiment where two object were dropped on the moon (feather and hammer) that proved in a vaccum things fall at the same rate - I got called a moron... By EVERYONE.
I asked the person at the counter at Baskin Robbins for a quart of a certain flavor of ice cream. She said they had no more one-quart containers. I said, ok just give me two pints for the same price. She froze, stammered, acted like I was trying to trick her, then refused. Another excellent product of our public schools.
I understand this, though. You have to ring things into the cash register, mostly using bar codes. If you don't physically have a one quart there to take the code from them you cannot make the cash register give the one quart price, it won't do it. Also, 2 smaller things are more expensive than one big one due to packaging and transport costs (round containers make you transport a lot of air in your truck) and the costs of handling and storing the items in store, so they are not the same price at all and not interchangeable. Cashier likely working out if this is possible with her register and without getting fired, and that jammed up her brain in being able to respond.
